Salvation at last (Tryll)

[Anastasia]

Okay, paste the Lost Chalice stuff into here so we're on the same page? It's been a bit.

[Yuthirin]

Right. Incidentally, it's Abyssal, not Demonic. Anyway.

The Lost Chalice

The book talks about the Knights of the Chalice, an organization dedicated to recovering a lost holy chalice from Hell. The details on it are sketchy and lost to history, but it's believed to have been owned by Tyr and lost ages before his fall. That is not true. The truth has been obscured.

Most of the book is straightforward and factual. The Knights of the Chalice currently believe the Lost Chalice resides somewhere in Dis. Several expeditions have been mounted to recover it, but as of now, all have failed. Nevertheless, they keep trying. In the meantime, they are a solid group of holy warriors who oppose fiends in all forms. They are heroes, champions and the righteous, with fiendslaying techniques and powerful magic. All to save me. You who can read beyond reading and listen beyond listening, hear my voice.

The group is spread across countless Prime Material worlds, a recurring group allied to the Triad and various groups tied to Mount Celestia. While they have not recovered the Lost Chalice, they have without a doubt done a great deal of good. The Knights strive to improve and to one day recover what was lost. As such, they are often opposed by the servants of Hell and the servants of Dispater in particular. I reside a prisoner in Dis. Free me so I can speak to my father. Free me for a better world. Free me, you of noble heart, because it is the right thing to do.

[Anastasia]

You sit down and read another of your books.

Messages within messages. A truth hidden behind the truth. Tiny little fragments, a command written seven times, each time with more intensity.

Free me. Free me from Dis. Free me for a better world.

[Yuthirin]

That's ominous! And possibly awful! Tryll heads for Morniel, who will probably know more!

[Anastasia]

You go.

For a moment, you see her. A figure, six wings of light woven with iron gray. Faraway and beseeching, a whisper carried on the wind. "Find me...free me....noble soul..."

Then the moment passes, leaving you momentarily dizzied within Aurora's halls.

[Yuthirin]

Tryll would be bumping into the walls if he were physically capable, but he's not! Calleigh cheerfully does it for him, spinning and knocking over non-breakables as they go.

[Anastasia]

"Hey!" Elena appears, clad in an apron and dress, "Are you trying to make more work for people? Stop moving if you're dizzy!"

[Yuthirin]

"But it's fuuuuuuuuuuun!" Calleigh retorts as Tryll makes his way past.

[Anastasia]

Elena's cry of annoyance is but a memory as you find Morniel. He is in his quarters, reading and working on paperwork. "Come in," he calls, giving you a chance to see this before he puts his quill down.

[Yuthirin]

"We found the Lost Chalice!" Calleigh grins, pointing to the book Tryll is floating in mid-air.

[Anastasia]

Morniel's expression is calm as he says, "I do not see it," he says, "Have you hidden it away again?"

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh falters, then rallies, "Uhm, no? We bought a book about the Lost Chalice and it had a hidden message!"

[Anastasia]

Apologies for the delay, there was a rules pile up over in Jaela and Afina's thread. Took some time to hash out.

"May I please see it?" Morniel asks.

[Yuthirin]

I figured it was something. I just exercised my F5 key for a while.

"Here ya go!" The book is passed over to Morniel.

[Anastasia]

You may want to take a look, as it'll impact most everyone in some manner. A more complete post about it will be in nagging tonight or tomorrow.

The book is taken and read. Morniel reads several pages before he murmurs, "Remarkable."
